Are there facilities that we can place my schizophrenic mother?
There is a good chance Assisted Living provides a good option for your mother, but much more information is required. Your mother’s choice for housing will require financial and medical assessments.
To learn more about your local resources, contact your county senior services organization, typically listed in the front of your local phone directory.
As you begin to address the specifics with your mother, you may also contract the services of a Care Manager.
Both can help provide local options and advice to he[p you get started.
You can also search for a list of local assisted living facilities. Make appointments and visit the communities to get a better understanding of services, assessment, medical and financial requirements for each.
My sister has suffered with Schizophrenia for over 30 years. She and my family went through hell trying to find a place for her where she would be safe. I am so happy there is a site like this for people to turn to, to have there questions read and answered with helpful suggestions. Our family did not have that. My sister now resides in a nursing home, under heavy medications. Thank God for Caring.com.
